Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

As the door to the conference room opened, a middle-aged man wearing conqueror armor walked in.

With his distinctive features and handsome beard, he is a man that makes a lasting impression.

He looks powerful and tough, with a rugged charm.

"Count Aaron, long time no see."

"You have had a long journey, Sir Dexter."

This masculine man is none other than Dexter, the vice-captain of the Colinfirth Knights, one of the five major knightly orders in the kingdom.

Dexter responded to Aaron's greeting lightly, and then looked around the conference room with a threatening look. He seemed to be looking for the mercenary king who wanted to stop the execution of the imprisoned mercenaries.

"Ah, Lord Isaac?" Isaac appeared in his sight. Why was the guardian of the kingdom here? Dexter, who had been observing his surroundings vigilantly, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Great guardian of the kingdom, Lord Guardian Isaac." Although Dexter walked into the meeting room aggressively, he immediately became respectful when he saw Isaac.

"Long time no see, Sir Dexter." Isaac greeted Colin Firth's deputy captain "Dexter" easily. Perhaps because of Isaac's calmness, Dexter, who was so aggressive just now, suddenly seemed a little insignificant.

Even the vice-captains of the kingdom's five great knight orders had to bow their heads before the Guardian.

"What brings you here, Lord Isaac..." Dexter asked cautiously, trying to hide his surprise.

"One of my disciples lives in Trafalgar, and I'm here to take him away." Dexter immediately remembered the fact that a student from the Hero Academy was almost killed by the mercenary Flamm.

"Really? I'm glad he's okay."

"But after I came here, I heard some strange rumors. They said that all the imprisoned mercenaries would be killed." Dexter's expression stiffened when he heard Isaac's words.

"Yes. A mercenary named Flam betrayed during the operation and killed the knight Anthony of Colinfirth."

There may be Fram's accomplices among the imprisoned mercenaries, but since there is no way to find his accomplices, it is decided to kill all the mercenaries. This is the decision of the Knights of Colinfurth.

Although it was a stupid decision. It was a decision made to prevent a greater danger, but innocent people died because of it.

"Is this the King's decision?" Isaac asked in a low voice. Dexter sighed and nodded.

"This was the decision made at the end of the meeting. His Majesty the King handed the decision to the Knights General, and the five major knightly orders gathered together for a long discussion."

The decision was given to them by the king himself, and even the guardians could not stop it. Dexter thought so and continued resolutely.

"I'm not here to convince the Mercenary King and Count Aaron. I'm here to execute the mercenaries."

"You are here to warn and threaten." As soon as Dexter finished speaking, the mercenary king "Jed" sneered and said sarcastically.

Dexter stared at Jed with sharp eyes, and Jed stared back without showing any weakness. Although it was only a brief mental battle, the hatred between the two made the atmosphere in the conference room tense.

"But, I have a question." At this time, Isaac stood up with a kind smile.

Rustle. He held a stack of documents in his hand, and Isaac continued as he flipped through them.

"This report says that the body of mercenary Fram is strange. What's strange about it?" Isaac asked Aaron Trafalgar. Aaron hesitated for a moment, then spoke immediately.

"When he was initially examined, both of his eyes had turned black and black spots appeared all over his body." Isaac, who was surprised by this answer, tilted his head and asked another question.

"Can you let me see the body?" Since the case has not yet been decided, the body of the criminal will not be handled casually.

Isaac believed that the body should be preserved in a coffin enchanted to preserve it, so he naturally made this suggestion.

"Well, that..." Aaron looked a little flustered and didn't finish his words.

"Did you dispose of the body?"

"Ah, no, not at all." If there was no body to be dealt with, why was there such a panic? Isaac looked at Aaron with a puzzled look, and Aaron continued carefully.

"We tried to save the body, but it suddenly turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared. This should be written on the last page of the report."

Rustle, rustle. Hearing Aaron's words, Isaac immediately flipped through the documents.

"Yeah, I see." He seemed to understand and nodded. Snap. Isaac seemed to understand something, put the document down, and then looked at the deputy commander Dexter with cold eyes.

“It seems that the mercenary Fram is undergoing demonization.” Isaac’s words made everyone in the conference room hold their breath. The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and everyone’s face was full of surprise.

"Demonization?" Dexter was the first to speak in the silence.

"Yes. One of the typical symptoms of demonization is that the eyes turn black after death and black spots appear on the skin." Isaac continued to explain with an expressionless face.

"Also, just like when a demon dies, the body will not be left behind, but will turn into a puff of black smoke and disappear."

"We know that demons will immediately turn into a puff of black smoke after they die."

"Yes. But humans who are transforming into demons are still humans." If the mercenary Fram has completely turned into a demon, he will immediately turn into black smoke and disappear after his death.
